<P class="title"><A NAME="HELPSwED"></A>Switch <B>-ED </B> -  do not
add empty folders<hr></P>

<P>This switch indicates that folder records are not to be stored
in the created archive. When extracting such archives, WinRAR creates
non-empty folders based on paths of files contained in them. Information
about empty folders is lost. All attributes of non-empty folders except
a name (access rights, streams, etc.) will be lost as well, so use
this switch only if you do not need to preserve such information.</P>


<P>If -ed is used with <A HREF="HELPCmdM.htm">m</A> command or <A
HREF="HELPSwDF.htm">-df</A> switch, WinRAR will not remove empty folders.</P>
